Jannik Sinner shifted into cruise control at Wimbledon, effortlessly dispatching unseeded Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to secure his spot in the fourth round on a damp Friday. Following his intense battle with fellow Italian Matteo Berrettini, which concluded just before the 11 p.m. local curfew on Wednesday, the 22-year-old wasted no time under the Centre Court roof. A thunderous backhand shot earned Sinner an early break, setting the tone for the opening set, which he wrapped up in a swift 21 minutes, dropping only one late game. Kecmanovic faced an uphill battle entering the match, having never triumphed over Sinner in their three previous encounters. The 24-year-old fought valiantly, delaying the inevitable in a tightly contested second set. However, Sinner, the reigning Australian Open champion, broke through for a 5-4 lead and unleashed a barrage of three aces, tightening his grip on the match with a two-set advantage. The winning shots continued to flow from Sinner’s racket as the lanky top seed established a commanding lead in the third set. Ultimately, Kecmanovic ended his own misery with an error, surrendering the match to the dominant Sinner.
